Picking up where the first series left off, rookie manga artist Aito Yuuki and his long-suffering assistant Ashisu Sahoto welcome a new assistant into their cramped, deadline-driven studio. Aito's habit of using Ashisu as unwilling reference material for his perverse gags hasn't slowed down, and editor Mihari Otosuna is still trying to keep him focused enough to make it to print. The new arrival shifts the studio's already chaotic dynamic in ways the returning cast has to adjust to.
